Amidst the crowd, Ran Min's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he exuded a murderous aura.
He said in a deep voice, "I've heard His Majesty say that the people of the Land of the Far West are willing to do anything for profit. If they know about the situation in Great Liang, they certainly won't give up this big fat sheep!"
However, their choice to target Great Liang can only be described as a poor choice!
His eyes flashed with murderous intent. Perhaps you have found a big fat sheep, but it seems you have chosen the wrong person. You don't even understand the most basic strength of Great Liang!
This raid is their death sentence.
He saw only slaughter in these alien races, especially those filled with malice, and felt no desire to welcome them whatsoever.
Li Ling's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but whisper, "It's good that we chose the wrong one! Otherwise, we wouldn't have had a chance!"
This mistake is actually a good one. I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to do anything big this time, but unexpectedly, the opportunity came. This time, Great Liang is fighting three against one, so I should at least get a share of the spoils.
The others also exchanged glances; this was an unexpected turn of events, but it also presented them with an opportunity.
If they could perfectly defeat the enemy in a one-against-three battle, then they would at least be famous All Under Heaven and renowned far and wide, if not immortalized in history.
What does it mean to be powerful? It means we can take on three countries. That's how powerful we are.
"I see!"
Lin Rusong immediately beamed with joy, his crow's feet crinkling at the corners of his eyes.
He raised a fine son, who actually passed on the fame of taking on three opponents in one go to us. This time, Old Lin can return in glory, and he can brag to his old brothers even after he dies!
I previously thought Jia Xu was overly cautious, but now it seems perfectly reasonable.
After all, Great Liang is facing three powerful forces at the same time. If they are careless, they may suffer heavy losses, so it is better to be cautious.
He said excitedly, "Thank you for your hard work, strategist. We really need to be careful this time, as we are fighting three against one. We can't afford to capsize, or we would be letting my son down!"
But here's the problem: when do we make our move? And when will we face our opponent in the Land of the Far West?
Although he was the retired emperor and the former Prince of Northern Liang, his favorite identity was still that of a military general, fighting bravely on the battlefield and slaying those traitors. This was the true battlefield for a man.
Now that I've landed such a big order, if I can close it out, I can retire with honor.
Jia Xu nodded slightly and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui's armies are heading straight for Frostwest Capital, and we are also keeping them in check. Ashina Tiandu will definitely be unable to sit still any longer."
If I'm not mistaken, he will go to great lengths to invite the Great West Empire and the Land of the Far West to intervene; that will be the time for us to make our move.
Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui were both extremely capable. Although I did not witness their abilities firsthand, His Majesty gave them the highest recognition.
One was given the title of Marquis Champion, and the other was directly named Grand General; they were definitely two ruthless individuals.
These two individuals were powerful enough to tear through Frostwest's defenses and even shake its Frostwest foundation. With the added support of Great Liang, Frostwest was already riddled with holes.
To put it bluntly, although the Frostwest Empire may seem like the Great Liang hasn't touched it yet, it has actually swallowed up most of its territory, which is no different from having already defeated it.
Once Great Liang truly makes its move, Frostwest, which was already on the verge of collapse, will likely collapse immediately; there's absolutely no suspense about that.
Then, when the time comes, we can take action against the Great West Empire and the Land of the Far West. Not only will it be perfectly justified, but we can also catch them off guard and teach them what fear is.
"I see, that makes sense!" Lin Rusong nodded slightly. Destroying Frostwest was simple, but achieving other goals would require more scheming.
Since that's the case, let's just wait. Anyway, Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui are also taking action; it's the Frostwest Empire that's anxious.
"Report!"
"The imperial envoy has arrived, bringing not only His Majesty's decree but also a person with him!" The guard hurriedly ran over and explained.
Imperial Envoy!
Everyone's eyes lit up. The Emperor had actually sent someone over; that meant things were about to change.
Has the time come ripe for war?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get excited and quickly got up to greet the other party, also wanting to see who the Emperor had sent.
Upon seeing the imperial envoy, everyone was stunned for a moment, instinctively taking a few steps back, and exclaimed in horror, "Holy crap, it's actually Li Yu!"
In an instant, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. This guy was a universally acknowledged jinx, always exuding an aura of dejection. The Emperor had actually sent him as an imperial envoy—did he not want to win?
" Li Yu greets all the esteemed officials and the Emperor Emeritus!" Seeing everyone's attitude, Li Yu was not angry, but instead greeted them politely.
He has been used to keeping a low profile for many years, and the opinions of others are like fleeting clouds; what difference does it make if he doesn't pay attention?
Forehead!
Lin Rusong coughed lightly, feeling somewhat ashamed of his shock. He smiled wryly and said, "Isn't my dear minister in charge of that training course? How did you become an imperial envoy? Isn't this a waste of talent?"
Why!
Li Yu sighed, glanced at the person beside him, and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, it was His Majesty who instructed me to use the love of the Great Liang to influence this person, which is why I accompanied him here."
Influence?
Everyone was completely dumbfounded, staring at the guy on horseback who seemed to be questioning his existence, and for a moment they didn't even recognize him.
The man's eyes were lifeless, and his whole body looked as if he had been struck by frost. Sitting on his warhorse, he looked like a living dead man, and I really didn't recognize him.
In the end, Jia Xu, with his keen eye, noticed something amiss and frowned, saying, "Hmm, this person seems to be Ashina Xiuli, the third prince of Bill III. What's wrong with this fellow?"
Wasn't this guy sent as an envoy to Great Liang to negotiate terms? Why does he look like he's lost his parents? It's really hard to recognize him.
Cough cough!
Li Yu's face stiffened, and he forced a dry laugh, saying, "After witnessing Your Majesty's heroic bearing, this man was won over by Your Majesty's Win People Over with Virtue and thus decided to help Great Liang eliminate the beast Ashina Tiandu!"
Hiss!
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat; they were stunned by the news.
What kind of move is Your Majesty making? This is simply outrageous! You've even managed to tame the Third Prince of Frostwest, and he's even going to help you eliminate the Emperor of Frostwest. This is utterly absurd!
ah!
Upon hearing someone call his name, Ashina Xiuli seemed to be activated, immediately reacting and bursting into tears, saying, "Waaah, take me there quickly! I'm willing to cooperate with the Great Liang to eliminate my brother!"
He's utterly depraved, worse than a pig or a dog. I just beg you not to let him follow me!
His eyes were filled with fear and disgust as he looked at Li Yu, as if he had seen a demon, and he began to shout hoarsely.
Waaaaah!
This is way too difficult!
He was already in a terrible state, but this guy's influence pushed him to the brink of collapse, and he almost collapsed completely.
